Seasonal Update

Get close to nature without ever leaving the city. Walk the banks of Wolf Creek and explore. Cross the bridge to Adventure Central where learning and nature come alive for many children during the summer day camps. A park where neighbors gather for cookouts and games. A Back to School Jam is planned for August 9.

 
    • Situated on Wolf Creek, it’s hard to believe this scenic, natural area is located within Dayton city limits. Beautiful woodlands, the river and wildlife bring urban residents close to nature. In addition, Wesleyan is the site of Adventure Central, an innovative partnership between MetroParks and Ohio State University Extension, 4-H Youth Development. Here urban youth learn more about the environment and themselves through after-school programs, clubs and camps.
